Reinardt Janse van Rensburg of Team Dimension Data will return to WorldTour action at the upcoming Tour de Suisse, after having recovered from a long-term injury.

The South African underwent groin surgery at the end of 2018. As explained by the team in March of this year, he was then "perhaps a little over eager in trying to make his comeback and provoked a severe adductor tendinopathy".

But, after having to watch the spring season from home, the rider finally started his 2018 campaign in Norway as he prepared to take part in the Tour de Suisse.

"I am looking forward the Tour de Suisse," he said. "Its my first race back on the World Tour this year and I am looking forward to test myself and see where I am physically, after the last races in Norway. I am very happy with my progression over the last two months and hope to continue it here with the team.

"We will fight hard as a team for some good results here."
